This smacks of a hardware fault. First, go back through your BIOS settings
and make quite sure you aren't overclocking (even accidentally). If you
have more than one memory module, try taking them out and replacing just one
at a time in turn. Then run memtest86 or compile a kernel. If possible, try
the RAM in another motherboard.
Good luck finding what's up with it. Intermittent faults are always the worst
to diagnose.
